The Leistandarte distinguished itself in Poland, in the West and obtained its first military notoriety in the Balkans under Kurt Meyer. Transferred to the Eastern Front, at the forefront of the German advance. After 1943, it continued to distinguish at Kharkov and at Kursk. It then disarmed the Italian Army, fought in Normandy, in the Ardennes and took part in the ultimate fighting in Hungary, and even in Berlin for some of its elements. This book includes many of portraits of officers who became famous, but also photographs of materiel. It’s a fabulous book, a milestone, a limited edition which should be in any serious library.

The aim of this book is to reconstruct at least in part the image of the German troops present in the Grenoble region in 1940 at the end of the campaign for France, but above all in 1943/44 following the Italian capitulation and during the operations against the Maquis forces in the Vercors region, until the end of summer 1944. It concerns mainly the land troops (Heer), especially the Gebirgsjäger, the air force troops (Luftwaffe mainly paratroopers and bomber aviation), but also the Police (Ordnungspolizei) and incidentally the customs.
